Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me. It looks like the Status is still ok, it didn’t switch back to Missing this time. So I think it’s good. I’m surprised the webhost didn’t see that option before as they were looking at my settings.

Although, the images are now not getting optimized. Is there something more I need to do? I even tried to manually optimize a couple images and it said “no savings”. Almost every image has ‘no savings’ next to it. Yet in Google page speed, it keeps telling me I should loslessly compress images.

Thanks

Also…
-I then noticed the box “Use system paths” so i unchecked this & saved
-It then shows Status as OK. (However it did this yesterday when I re-installed, but then the status went back to ERROR after some time)
-I am now waiting to see if anything changes

Hi,

Thanks for your message. I pasted in the info you requested below and steps I took:

-I deleted the contents of the folder
-I deactivated, then deleted the plug in from WP menu
-I re-installed the plug-in, and got success message: “Successfully installed the plugin EWWW Image Optimizer 1.6.3.”
-I activated the plug in
-I get the error: “EWWW Image Optimizer requires jpegtran, optipng or pngout, and gifsicle. You are missing: optipng, gifsicle. Please install via the Settings Page. If the one-click install links don’t work for you, try the Installation Instructions.”

This is the status:

Hi I am having this same problem, OptiPNG & Gifsicle not installing. (just put this in a new post)
My site is hosted by Namecheap (pro package)

-I first got Exec() permissions, then reinstalled, then it said OK briefly for both OptiPNG and Gifsicle, but then went away.
-My understanding was if we’re on shared hosting, and files can’t be placed on root servers, then we can put them in WP Content folders, but this does not work.

SUPPORT NOTES:
-I talked to the support team, here is what they said to me:

20:42SupportDude:: Unfortunately it is not possible to install those libraries on our Shared server, but you will be able to install them on our VPS servers where you will have root access and will be able to manage any software you need.
20:43ME: can i not include those then in my own directory?
20:44SupportDude:: Unfortunately no, since plugin checks the libraries in root directories on the server not your own ones. This is why it is not possible to install those libraries.
20:44ME: ok, but it says something about when i don’t have such access:
20:44ME: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/installation/
20:45ME: see there under OptiPNG and Gigsicle
20:46SupportDude: Yes I have checked this instruction already and tried to place all the binaries into the folder, however it did not help, since as I have already mentioned above, the plugin checks the libraries in root directories: usr/bin/gifsicle and /usr/bin/optipng
20:46ME: but then why would it suggest to put in WPContent, since it knows many ppl use shared hosting
20:48SupportDude:: For this please kindly contact plugin developers and try to get more details on why it fails to allocate binaries in custom folder. Unfortunately we are not familiar with the way this plugin works.
20:52SupportDude:: I assume that the binaries provided in public_html/wp-content/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer directory are not compatible with CentOS that we are using on our servers.

I appreciate your help.
